Harry and Meghan: The Royal Library

I’m not saying that I’m obsessed with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s romance, I’m just saying the last time I was this invested in a wedding was when Mr. TV Recaps put a ring on it. For every possibly unhealthy fixation, there is a book. Here’s some bedside reading for fans of our new royal supercouple.

Harry: Life, Loss, and Love by Katie Nicholl
The author has been reporting on the Royal Family forever so she offers a standard biography. I’ll just go ahead and admit that I wouldn’t have picked it up were it not for Megs (I get to call her that because we’re totally besties), so the juiciest info relates to Prince Harry’s love life. There’s Zimbabwean-born Chelsy Davy, whose hobbies include wrestling crocodiles and breaking Prince Harry’s heart and some other girl, Cressida Bonas, who is not Meghan so who really cares? The author doesn’t get around to Meghan until Chapter 12 out of 16 and any self-respecting fan is already familiar with what’s covered.Summary: Prince Sexy has been known to have a roving eye. He better not even think about it.Rating: 👑👑👑

Prince Harry: The Inside Story by Duncan Larcombe
If you’re only going to read one Harry book, which means you probably have your own life, this is the one to read. Duncan Larcombe is the former royal editor of The Sun and has plenty of entertaining anecdotes from personal experience. Prince Harry has pulled a couple of pranks on Larcombe, who obviously has a soft spot for the rogue royal. The book was updated after the engagement so there are only two chapters about Megs, but it’ll arm you with insight that will serve you well when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex pop in for a cuppa.Summary: We seriously want to down some Pimm’s with Prince Harry. Is that too much to ask? Is it?Rating: 👑👑👑👑👑

Meghan: A Hollywood Princess by Andrew Morton
I was on the fence about this one because Morton, who authored Diana: Her True Story, is kind of shady. Press mentions of the book focused on supposedly less-flattering details offered up by some Bitterella who used to be besties with Megs but got replaced by me. Most of the book is positive, but you know, haters gotta hate (Andrew Morton’s gotta egg it on). It seems like Morton just recently Googled “interracial marriage” and learned about Loving v. Virginia because he will not shut up about it. One tasty tidbit: Samantha Markle, Meghan’s ugly stepsister, has always been trifling and a bit mental.Summary: OMG, you guys, Google says interracial marriage used to be illegal!Rating: 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

American Princess: The Love Story of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry by Leslie Carroll
Leslie Carroll is totes invited to come hang out with Megs and me, just three American girls sipping Tignanello and dishing about The Crown. The author, who specializes in royal romances, is all in when it comes to the Meghan love.Summary: Say anything negative about these two and Leslie Carroll will cut a bitch.Rating: 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑 👑
